Question: We have some Italian suppliers who claim that they cannot revise an invoice in the event of a mis-shipment. They are willing to issue a credit for an overage, but will not take product back or amend the original invoice to account for the overage or shortage. This creates issues with amending the entry […]
Question:When dealing with PEA’s for receipt quantity overages, I’m wondering whether or not the members obtain revised invoices from their vendors to show the actual amount received.
